"Koine Orama" / Jim Jirous, 3 Issues, 1985
Scope and Contents
This collection represents an example of grassroots artistic and political expression in Grand Rapids, Mich. and the larger Western Michigan area. Classic punk rock zines such as "Little Friend," "Slash and Burn," and "Placebo Effect" are typical zines of the 1980s and early 1990s. More art focused zines dealing with relationships, social movements, and political idealogy from the mid-1990s through the 2000s are also included in this collection. Most of the zines originate from Grand Rapids Zine Fest, an event which is sporadically held in Grand Rapids Mich., and from the Vault of Midnight's curated local publications section. A large portion of this collection was donated by employee Drew Damron and the classic 1980s punk fanzines in this collection were donated by employee Tim Pendergast.
